Official AC Milan Thread

Here are the ratings: of milan today








Storari(4.5): It really doesn't say much about Storari when you wish Kalac was in his place... It also tells you a lot when the number of goals you concede exceeds the number of actual saves you made... Kalac is a better 2nd choice goalie. I know, he makes those crazy blunders, but you can't deny that he CAN also pull off some impossible saves!

Bonera(5): After we conceded the 2nd goal, Bonera pretty much gave up. And that's down to his age and the fact that he is still inexperienced. He did very well in the first half.

Kaladze(4.5): He was horrific to say the least. It's not about individual errors. It's about how you read a game and how you make a partnership with the other defenders. He failed in all those aspects today.

Cafu(5): Nothing special. In my opinion, Cafu is a closed book. His story was over a while ago...

Jankulovski(5.5): The only reason he is not getting a 6 is because he failed to help the defense while he did a great job pushing forward. Jankulovski knows he needs to become a complete LB, NOT a LMF that has been slightly pushed back...

Brocchi(5.5): Brocchi was good today. Surprisingly fast and attacking minded. He linked up well with Kaka and Janku. But his red card was a huge blow to a team that was already struggling. The ref did the right thing. If someone tackled our player from the back like that, I would expect the same.

Gattuso(6.5): Gattuso is Gattuso. He does things for the team that others dare to do. He does the dirty work and then passes the ball along. The third goal was a result of Gattuso's great build up.

Pirlo(6): It is no question that Pirlo is a lost cause this season, but he pushed himself today and also had an assist. It was a great decision by Carletto to sub him in the 2nd half has was starting to struggle again.

Kaka(6.5): Kaka is getting back in form and it's very obvious that all he needs is playing time to get back into the game's rythm. We all saw that in the second half he cause more and more problems for Siena and also assisted Milan's 3rd goal.

Oliveira(6): He was constantly attacking and annoying Siena today. He was not his usual boring self... he was everywhere... making challenges and shots and pretty much being an unstoppable threat. He definitely deserved the goal he scored. One and assist and one goal in 2 games is great for a player that was about to be sold and was struggling for form just a while back. Now he needs to work on his endurance.

Ronaldo(8): WOW! What a performance... I couldn't believe it.. He scored the first goal and he wasn't done! He was hungry for more and just after I thought he was too tired to go on, he scored his second and it was beautiful... His first reminded me of Crespo's goal against Manchester United in the CL two years ago. Ronaldo did miss one great chance, but that is to be forgiven as he showed that he was gonna make up for it and he did. And eve though he was being hacked down left and right and at the end looked like he was seriously in pain, he got right back up to help his teammate win the game and it was utterly emotional for me to watch as a die-hard Milan fan... It was beautiful!

Oddo(5.5): He came on and tried to make a difference but didn't get the chance to actually do so. But he is not a quitter.

Gourcuff(5.5): Same exact thing as Oddo. But he was more of a threat for Siena and they had no choice but to pull their men back since Gourcuff was pushing forward.

Ambrosini(7): It was yet ANOTHER day to remember for the struggling midfielder as he scored what had to be the most breath-taking goal ALL SEASON. His header was saved by Manninger and then he scored on the following corner with everything he had! Ambrosini might not be consistent, but sure is a TRUE ROSSONERI! And if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have as many wonderful memories of Milan as we do now. Forza Ambro!

Ancelotti(6): It wasn't always easy to decide between a great attack, but he made the right choices and it paid off more than once, BUT 3 TIMES!! His choice of playing Kaladze in place of Captain Maldini was to be understood and as Paolo is being saved for the Celtic game and same for Oddo. But I do believe Gourcuff needs to play becaus one, he is great and two he needs to develop and gain confidence, NOT the other way around!

 

will dida return for tuesday?

 

We always have a chance no matter who it is, i feel certain we can win and win 2-0 at parkhead, its just the san siro where i think it could crumble!

 

All thoughts now turn to Milan and what a few weeks this could turn out to be. Win the league and get through to the quarter finals of the champs league. Lets hope we are on song over the next wee while bhoys n ghirls.

 

I'm carrying my rosary beads about with me..

 

Confirmation
Dida damaged his right shoulder during Milan's Italian Cup defeat at AS Roma on 31 January and had hoped to return in time for the first knockout round encounter. Instead, the Brazilian international, 31, must target the second leg on 7 March as his comeback date, leaving new signing Marco Storari between the sticks in Glasgow. "Dida will not make it," Ancelotti told reporters.

Striking news
The 29-year-old Storari has appeared just once for the Rossoneri since arriving from FC Messina Peloro. Dida's regular understudy, Zeljko Kalac, remains sidelined with a knee problem. There was better news for Milan, however, as Ancelotti has confirmed that Filippo Inzaghi will be available next Tuesday – the veteran striker has not played since hurting his right thigh in the same cup game against Roma. Ancelotti said: "Inzaghi should make it."

Precaution
Another of Milan's thirtysomethings, midfielder Clarence Seedorf, will sit out Saturday's Serie A visit to AC Siena due to a thigh complaint but should be ready for the Celtic match. "It is nothing serious and he will be OK for the Champions League," explained the coach. The Rossoneri are also likely to be deprived of defenders Alessandro Nesta and Serginho in both meetings with Celtic, that duo having undergone shoulder and hernia operations respectively in December.

I have gotten a bad feeling that Milan will either score within 5 minutes or get an away goal against the run of play. Been getting it all day, hopefully they wont

 

I have the same feeling. Think Kaka will get a quick goal. Hope I'm wrong.

 

* yer kaka and co this is the famous glasgow celtic were talking about mon the hoops

 

Don't worry about that...
that is just pre match nerves...
they will be thinking the same..
I have every confidence that Boruc can give us a cleansheet and shut out against Milan..

 

And they are 6 times winners Milan....

 

were goin throo

 

And they have won many of those trophies by cheating and diving their way
to success..
